What is it with me and depressing songs?

I heard this one over the weekend I was at my parents' house during Christmas. They get a ton of channels and they get the country one that actually plays videos. Well tonight I got on iTunes and remembered this one and downloaded it. I've always loved songs about heartbreak and this one certainly applies. I thought for years it was because I was constantly chasing someone who didn't want me...a couple different someones, but none of them ever wanted me the way I wanted them. Well here I am, finally with someone who cares and I care for him too, and I'm still loving the heartbreaking songs. I mean, this one made me cry, tears rolling down my face. Is it because of the hurt in the song, or because of the past? Or maybe I'm just tired, I tend to get weepy easily when I'm tired. I wish it was a little later, I'd seriously just go to work and get it over with. Anyway, this post is about the song. As usual, here are the lyrics. Gah, I want to snuggle with a teddy bear right now.

"Keep You" by Sugarland

We said goodbye. Tried our hand at magic.
But we couldn't make us disappear.
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.
So run away, I'm glad you're still here.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' the ghost in front of me.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

I wrote a couple of notes.
One in love, one in anger.
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' someone else who wanted me.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
Till you can't feel anything.

You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it.
As if your words were my tears.
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
Then all that disappears.

Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.

What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
